Chapter 108: Thank You, Lucas
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This tall, muscular man, Wade, was the very same boxing expert Gordon Douglas had hired to deal with Lucas.
Ever since Wade realized how terrifying Lucas was when they were in Heaven Media, he righteously defected to Lucas and took on the duty of protecting the people close to Lucas.
At the time, Lucas didn’t agree. After all, he hadn’t investigated Wade’s origin and motive clearly then and naturally wouldn’t send Wade to go close to the people dear to him.
After all the information he obtained and the observations he made during this period of time, Lucas confirmed that Wade was a reliable person he could hire. So when he saw Charlotte leaving the house alone in low spirits earlier, he texted Wade and asked him to go and protect Charlotte.
Charlotte was elated to hear that the burly man named Wade was here to protect her.
But she was now also extremely cautious and didn’t dare to trust any stranger easily. She asked apprehensively, “Who is this Mr. Gray you mentioned?”
Wade smiled. “Mr. Lucas Gray. Miss Carter, if you don’t trust me, you can call Mr. Gray and ask about it.”
After receiving Wade’s confirmation, Charlotte immediately felt relieved.
Charlotte had long confirmed that Lucas was not an ordinary person, and she knew that he was definitely capable of sending such a tall and burly bodyguard to protect her at last-minute notice.
Logan frowned after hearing their conversation.
He had finally taken a liking to a woman and specially concocted the drug, yet his plans were foiled just as he was about to get what he wanted. How could he be happy?
“Let’s leave,” Charlotte said as she shot Logan a look of disgust. Anyone who tries to drug people is a scumbag!

“Hah, you can’t leave so easily after ruining my mood.” Logan couldn’t be bothered pretending to be a refined gentleman anymore. He simply walked toward the couch and sat down suavely.
After he said this, over ten hostile-looking burly men clad in security officer uniforms suddenly surrounded them.
They were obviously not ordinary security officers but a group of well-trained fighters!
Charlotte became nervous. Although she knew that Wade was sent by Lucas to protect her and should also be an expert, he was alone and facing so many people, so Charlotte felt a little worried.
However, there was no fear on Wade’s face. He merely said to Charlotte calmly, “Miss Carter, just stand behind me, and don’t move.”
“Okay!” Charlotte nodded, feeling a little less nervous after seeing Wade’s calm expression.
Looking at Wade’s calm expression, Logan smirked and snapped his fingers.
Instantly, the burly men pounced at Wade.
“You’ve got a death wish!” Wade hollered while swinging his hard and massive fists at them!
“Ah!” The first burly man in front was sent flying and knocked over several tables and couches, making the patrons of the bar scream.
The first burly man laid in the middle of a pile of broken liquor bottles while covering his face and wailing incessantly. His cheekbones had probably already been shattered!
There was some horror on the faces of the remaining burly men. This tall and muscular man is really ruthless!
However, they were all hired fighters who had to take on the fight. They didn’t believe that they couldn’t defeat the outnumbered Wade!
The security officers swarmed up. Some of them held liquor bottles and smashed them at Wade.
Wade smiled contemptuously. I am a king of underground boxing. How could I be beaten up by some bar fighters?

Wade didn’t pull any fancy moves and merely waved his fists. The men started howling in terror. Soon, the ten-odd burly men were sent flying, creating a huge mess in the bar.
After all the fighters fell to the ground, there was no one left to stop Wade and Charlotte.
Seething at Logan, Wade left the bar with Charlotte.
Seeing the mess in his bar and the fighters rolling on the ground and shrieking in horror, Logan was overwhelmed with fury.
Someone had recklessly caused a huge mess on his turf. How could Logan take it lying down?!
Logan roared ruthlessly, “Go find out who that woman and Lucas Gray are! I want to hear about it within three hours!”
…
After finally escaping from the bar with Wade, Charlotte heaved a huge sigh of relief.
She didn’t expect to encounter such a thing when she went to the bar to take a breather while in low spirits.
Fortunately, the person Lucas sent had saved her. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable!
Charlotte was full of lingering fear. And there were also countless doubts within her.
For example, she wondered how Lucas found such a tall, brawny, and powerful person to protect her. And she was extremely curious about what other abilities Lucas was hiding too.
Unfortunately, the tall man in front of her didn’t seem like a talkative person. Moreover, he was more than two meters tall, extremely muscular, and had a menacing aura, so even Charlotte dared not ask him.
Soon, Wade escorted Charlotte back to her home.
When Charlotte went upstairs, she bumped into Cheyenne, who wanted to speak to her.
“Did you just go out to drink?” Cheyenne couldn’t help but frown when she smelled the alcohol reeking from Charlotte.
“Yes.” Charlotte nodded honestly. Just as Cheyenne was frowning and about to say something, Charlotte quickly interrupted her and assured her with a serious expression. “Cheyenne, I know I shouldn’t have done that! I will never go to a bar on my own again in the future!”
“…” Cheyenne looked at her sister promising seriously and could only shake her head and sigh. “I’ll hold you to your word. Don’t go to such places again in the future. You’re a girl. It’s dangerous out there!”
“Yes!” Charlotte nodded profusely like a chick.
In the past, she would be unconcerned when Cheyenne persuaded her not to go to bars because the world was full of thugs. But after the incident today, she decided to behave herself and take Cheyenne’s advice.
After Charlotte went into her room, she hesitated for a moment before sending Lucas a text. “Thank you, Lucas!”
When Lucas opened this text, Cheyenne happened to be next to him and coincidentally saw the sender. “Did Charlotte text you?”
Lucas nodded. But for some reason, Cheyenne suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Eleknar's Heir, The Infernal Prince (Demonic LitRPG)
A LitRPG and Epic Fantasy adventure: The son of a mafia boss finds himself abruptly plunged into an alternate world where he must find a way to survive the horrors of a realm called Oblivion, make pacts with demons, form unnatural friendships, and figure out what the hell is going on – all while dealing with the depressing reality of his past. An artificial intelligence has ascended into godhood and has thrown Trey’s home into Chaos, pulling millions of people into an enchanted new life... or, in Trey's case, a violent nightmare. As far as he can tell, he is locked into what the system prompts call a ‘Death Game.’ Here, artificial reality is manufactured for the enjoyment of a being called the All Spirit, and he has a very real chance of truly dying. Just how real is this place though? Is it merely a simulation, a realistic game of life and death… or is it something much more? Elves, dwarves, undead, and other races only thought to exist in fairy tales are now a reality. Black magics, pantheons of gods at odds with one another, predatory symbiotes, and an unholy calling, the significance of which he has yet to grasp, are all entangled with his fate. ============================================ ============================================ Some things to expect when reading this book series: - Brutal storyline where no character is safe and choices have real consequences. Heavy on action, survival, and adventure - An isekai. The main character struggles to find himself, repeatedly crossing the line between good and evil as other important characters influence his life - Harem (explicit), though this only starts about 180k words in. - Good amounts of crafting, town building, and guild building later on - Good amounts of fantasy-related LitRPG stats, rank ups, and evolutions. Heavy focus on demons and black magics - There will be many points of view, but there is only one primary/main character that takes up 90% of the POV - A long storyline. Currently (as of 7/26/2021) I have about 1500k words written, though much of it will have to be heavily edited and re-written. I also plan to go far beyond 1500k words if people like the story (A lot of it is also in the 'backstories' book that explores the guildmates, the link is below) - Chapters will have an average of about 4k-5k words, a little longer than most other books on RR, though there will be exceptions for more and less. I just didn't like posting chapters that didn't feel complete, and 2k words often felt like too little. - If you like super-heroic and goody-goody characters, this story is not for you. ***Updated once a week***

Sitting Under a Torn Umbrella
Man is for man - this is an old slogan today. It has lost its uniqueness for the cause of self-centred mentality. Now we cannot hear the chorus songs of unity. Rather the sound of cacophony always do disturb our hearing organ by imposing acute disparity. We don't fly the flag of harmony, uncompromising corrupted selfish hands try to disconnect the rope of the flying flag to take undue advantage. Human being lacks of humane quality. Strangulation of faith is seen here and there. We are losing hope day by day. The act of deflowering is an art. The dignity of woman is mercilessly crushing under the wheel of gender inequality. Filial piety sinks into the ocean of disbelief. Every moment we do feel pangs of neglect sitting under a torn umbrella.
